Is #6acf99 suitable for main body text?
This light pastel shade generally lacks the necessary contrast for body text against standard white backgrounds and may cause readability issues. It is far more effective as a secondary accent color, such as for hover states, call-to-action buttons, or subtle data visualization elements.
Is #6acf99 readable on white or black?
#6acf99 has a 1.90:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.99:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
